According to the latest issue of the Official Playstation Magazine (UK) Capcom are to add more white enemies into Resident Evil 5.
A lot of gamers were very unhappy and felt Resident Evil 5 is racist towards African people.
“…gunning down mobs of angry Africans could be ’subtly racist’…It’s not just that these zombies are black, but that the uninfected black villagers are zombie-like too,”
“See all those spooky shots of the villagers before they get infected? It’s as if race itself were a disease. The white protagonist has to fight back or be infected.”
Quotes from Gamespot.
Well yes, according to the magazine Capcom are to add more white people/enemies into the game. Capcom has responded to the racist accusation, maybe this is one of their ‘big’ E3 announcements?
